Bridesmaid Dress Help

in January 2016 Moms
Hi ladies,

Need your opinion. My bridesmaid dress for a wedding I have in 3 weeks just came (finally).

I switched dress sizes with one of my best friends cause hers was 4 sizes too big for her and would have been a fortune for her to alter. I also could use the extra room for my belly but will need the top taken in a lot.

My dilema is what to wear for a bra. I'm a 32/34 I, and the back of the dress is so low.
I don't think I can do the low back straps because of my belly. Thoughts?

    What if you just do the ones that stick on in the front?  I know they are not a ton of support, but it might be ok for a short amount of time?

    I would just have the top taken in to fit tight and then wear cups...

    I would talk to the person altering it, they may be able to sew in bra cups.

    Sticky boobs. They're awesome.

    I would ask the seamstress if she can sew in cups.  I find sticky boobs annoying, and if you end up sweating, they seem to slip and look really weird.

    Do you think its possible to sew in cups for such a big size? I'm going where I had my wedding dress done, and the girl nearly fainted then when I was just an F cup lol.

    This. If it's not supportive enough...I've seen some duct tape tricks on Pinterest that look pretty convincing...

    Same situation as you. I bought a long line low back bra. I have huge boobs and the only option. The bra fits comfortably above baby.

    Looks like you need the dress hemmed also. Maybe the seamstress can bring it up in the waist so that the back of the dress covers your bra. I too have a large chest and although I've never used the sticky or sew in cups I don't know if they'd be supportive enough to be comfortable and you're going to have a long day.

    Talk to the seamstress and see what she recommends based on your needs.

    Good luck and have fun at the wedding!

    I recently had cups sewn in for a bm dress. It's much more comfortable than sticky boobs!

    What about a bikini top? It's possible you could tie it up lower than a bra might sit? Otherwise I would agree with stick on bras

    You can find clear-back bras, if you're willing to spend the money. It won't disappear completely, but it's better than one that completely clashes.
